Yup!

Do the Mets have any players who will be going to Asia to participate? Senga is skipping the WBC... I'm not sure if there are any others.

The only one I found is Claudio Scotti a minor leaguer who is repping Italy.

I found this great thread on all the WBC teams that I've already used a few times as a quick reference. It starts with Cuba and goes from there.

[metirish]

I came here to post the same tweet , excellent work by that person

[whippoorwill]

Surprised to see Cespedes

[Edgy MD]

Looks like I'm not getting the stream with my mlb.tv shlubscription.



Yoenis is batting fourth and walked in his first plate appearance.



Holland has shortstops all over the place, with Didi Gregorious staffing first, Andrelton Simmons at third, Xander Bogaerts as the actual shortstop, and Jurickson Profar in left. Jonathan Schoop, who has over 100 games of MLB experience at first is at second. I bet that just steams Didi.



Eight-year MLB vet and 2016 Mets AAA player Roger Bernadina is The Netherlands' 39-year-old centerfielder.



The Cubans are up 1-0 on an RBI hit by secondbaseman Yadil Mujica. Yadil is the rare bird who came to the US to play, gave it a shot, and then returned to the CNS.

Pretty sweet to be Mike Piazza I would think

Twitter was blowing up about #hornguy behind the plate, but I thought it was hilarious. I just had to turn the volume down so muh lady didn't think there was a pissed off car outside our house laying on the horn.



If there's going to be a World Cup style discovery of under-the-radar players who now maybe get a shot at MLB, my first pony is Yariel Rodriguez. If there weren't pitch count rules, it looked like he could've kept the MLB-heavy NED lineup off the board for another couple innings easy. Mid-to-high nineties, 3000K on breaking stuff, per the announcer guy. He looked hella good. Currently earning money as a reliever in Japan with Chunichi. SIGN HIM NOW METS!!!!



Second vid down on this page are Yariel's highlights (also horn guy's) --> https://www.mlb.com/news/cuba-vs-netherlands-in-world-baseball-classic-2023https://www.mlb.com/news/cuba-vs-netherlands-in-world-baseball-classic-2023

Ben Verlander also has a crush on my crush so now I'm just not that into him

[Edgy MD]

I like that delay in his motion. Send a Cuban guy to Japan and he starts turning Japanese.

Team Dominican Republic is currently pounding the Braves 5-0 behind 3 ribbies from some dude named Canó.

Nicaragua beating the Mets 2-0 in the bottom of the fifth.



Did I say beating? I think what I meant is no-hitting.

[Edgy MD]

A Ronny Mauricio infield single with two out in the seventh combined with five walks to provide all the offense the Mets were able to muster against seven allegedly Nicaraguan pitchers.

Mauricio was then up with two on and no outs in the 9th and hit into a DP.

Team Italy should be wearing the nation's colors of red white and green.



Or maybe they were afraid they'd look too much like pizza boxes?

[Edgy MD]

Who is that doing PbP? It sounds like a cross between Tanyon Sturze and an Aussie.

[A Boy Named Seo]

I'm kinda looking forward to the US start times. The 5am/11pm thing ain't really working for me.

[kcmets]

Does anyone have the 10am game on Tubi playing? I can't find it. I had the

end of the Italy game on before and it loaded automatically when I clicked on

'Live TV' on the top menu.

[A Boy Named Seo]

I don't, but I don't have the tubi app installed on this TV.



Dayummm, Tokyo Dome was rocking last night! https://www.mlb.com/news/shohei-ohtani-dominates-in-japan-s-world-baseball-classic-opener?game_pk=719533https://www.mlb.com/news/shohei-ohtani-dominates-in-japan-s-world-baseball-classic-opener?game_pk=719533

It never loaded, so much for hi-tech streaming services.



Skip Bayless is still unwatchable in case anyone was wondering.

"let me tell you about when I was playing"

[metirish]

After a Austin Barnes double , Colombia walks Arozarena and takes their chances with leftie Verdugo , Zuniga throws 100+ and blows him away ... Tied at 4 going to extra innings
